wild things dresses - Etsy

I don't usually do 'twee' kidswear, but I thought these fox dresses were rather fun and cute!  Its a one off, the lovely printed dresses and rompers are super cute for the summer too.  See here http://www.etsy.com/shop/wildthingsdresses

Mini Munster

Its very rare that you come across a brand that offers cool boys options, let alone cool baby boy options but Munster Kids have hit the nail on the head.  Graphics and colours are great.  Not twee.  Not a tractor applique in sight.  Not too old either, you sometimes see mini men versions, which don't get me wrong can be perfect, but to find a label that is child focus and credible is unusual.  The girls range looks pretty cool too.  See more here http://www.munsterkids.com.au/

Zorrro

Belgium brand Zorrro have been established since 1994, initially graphic tee led but total-collection based now with lovely tea-dresses / jackets etc.  Colourful, but not overly bright.  Lovely pieces that can be worn together with a hit of retro styling, especially with the boys collection.  Boys are catered for just as carefully as the girls.  I love the SS12 collection, I think it looks really laid back and easy for kids to wear.  Stylish without being overstyled...Katie Holmes take note dear!

They also have another label GOLD that offers a different style with more muted tones and classic pieces.  See both labels here http://www.zorrrobelgium.com/

Granny Square Blanket finally finished!

Its took some time, but finally I have finished this blanket.  It was well worth the time as it looked great and had a very happy customer at the end!  What do you think?  Still many to do, babies keep being born, birthdays keep coming round...but i've started a new 1940's crochet pattern for a cushion.  Hasn't taken too long and is looking pretty good.  Will post a picture once I have finished!
